The Art of Hip Hop: Celebrating the 5 Elements

SACRAMENTO – The Art of Hip Hop: Celebrating the 5 Elements, an art exhibition and hip hop festival that seeks to empower and educate the community is set to run June 5-29. Organizers desire for it it to become a cultural resource to promote the development, rich history and legacy of hip-hop culture.

The Art of Hip Hop (TAOHH) kicks off on Thursday, June 5 as Nickel n’a Nail, Brickhouse Gallery and Art Complex and Low End Theory Collaborative unite to present the Bridging the Literary Gap: Rap/Write Now! Lecture with Dr. Eugene B. Redmond at the Brickhouse Art Gallery. The opening reception is set to begin 6:00 p.m. with Dr. Redmond sharing and discussing his views on the importance and correlation between rap lyrics and poetry.

Dr. Eugene B. Redmond is the Poet Laureate of East Saint Louis, Illinois, Emeritus Professor of English, Founding Editor of Drumvoices Revue and former Chairman of the Creative Writing Committee at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He taught at California State University, Sacramento, as a professor of English for 16 years. Redmond has authored or edited more than 25 volumes of poetry, collections of diverse writings, and plays for stage and TV.
